Jacqueline Trousdale, 30, was arrested June 9 by police in Tolleson, Ariz., after a crime lab reportedly found the drug in a sample of the child’s urine, according to KPHO CBS 5 News.

The news station reported that police were called to a Tolleson hotel in October 2012 on allegations of child abuse and molestation. The girl’s father told them he had confronted Trousdale about her own alleged drug use and claims from their children that she had been injecting them with drugs and allowing men to molest them at the hotel.

Child Protective Services were notified, and during a subsequent investigation, urine samples were taken, CBS5 said. Exams showed no signs of sexual abuse.

Trousdale is charged with one count of child abuse, one count of endangering the life and health of a minor and one count of theft.
